2020-05-07credential: document protocol updatesLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-13/+21
Document protocol changes after CVE-2020-11008, including the removal of references to the override of attributes which is no longer recommended after CVE-2020-5260 and that might be removed in the future.

2019-11-18credential: move doc to credential.hLibravatar Heba Waly1-2/+1
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-credentials.txt to credential.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Documentation/technical/api-credentials.txt is removed because the information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and synchronized with the documentation in the header file. Documentation/git-credential.txt and Documentation/gitcredentials.txt now link to credential.h instead of Documentation/technical/api-credentials.txt for details about the credetials API.

2013-09-06Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML filesLibravatar Sebastian Schuberth1-1/+1
AsciiDoc's "link" is supposed to create hyperlinks for HTML output, so prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to text files as no equivalent HTML files are generated. If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked file's extension.

2012-08-08Documentation: list git-credential in plumbing commandsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Commit e30b2feb1b (Jun 24 2012, add 'git credential' plumbing command) forgot to add git-credential to command-list.txt, hence the command was not appearing in the documentation, making it hard for users to discover it. While we're there, capitalize the description line for git-crendential for consistency with other commands.

2012-07-18credential: convert "url" attribute into its parsed subpartsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+12
The git-credential command requires that you feed it a broken-down credential, which means that the client needs to parse a URL itself. Since we have our own URL-parsing routines, we can easily allow the caller to just give us the URL as-is, saving them some code.

2012-07-18docs/credential: minor clarity fixupsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+4
The text in git-credential(1) was copied from technical/api-credentials, so it still talks about the input/output format as coming from git to the helper. Since the surrounding text already indicates that this format is used for reading and writing with git credential, we can just remove the extraneous confusing bits.

2012-06-25git credential fill: output the whole 'struct credential'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-4/+12
Instead of outputing only the username and password, print all the attributes, even those that already appeared in the input. This is closer to what the C API does, and allows one to take the exact output of "git credential fill" as input to "git credential approve" or "git credential reject".

2012-06-25add 'git credential' plumbing commandLibravatar Javier Roucher Iglesias1-0/+136
The credential API is in C, and not available to scripting languages. Expose the functionalities of the API by wrapping them into a new plumbing command "git credentials". In other words, replace the internal "test-credential" by an official Git command.
